Now I have to consider saving up the used filters and taking them with me whenever I end up moving to/visiting a country that has an available recycling option. Oh well, I have gone through customs and security with weirder stuff before. It helps to have a print out of a labeled patent illustration. I bought a Brita despite their unavailability in Tunisia.

You look great for being so sick and you are so right. First step, create a program. Second step, for those of us who can, support the program. Third step, watch the program flourish and grow.

I love writing letters to companies, but I usually don't have the inclination unless someone posts their own or uses a good phrase that describes just how I'm feeling. <br/><br/>This is great news! We just switched to Brita from PUR for this reason. Thanks for posting a sample letter.

I did find a company called Aveda that is in our local mall that will take #5 recycling because our county does not. Dadly, Whole Foods doesn’t participate in Virginia.

If this program was greatly expanded, would they be able to handle the giant influx of additional materials, or would they just use some and others would end up in the landfill?
